The Read House is very classy place. The price was very reasonable. I highly recommend this hotel. We upgraded to a tenth floor corner room which was immaculate. We dined at the Chophouse which is a bit pricey but the food was exceptional. Definitely a special occasions type place!

Great room and friendly staff. You need to up your game if you are after business travelers. Two observations. One - Zero food available after 10pm is a problem for late arrivals or those working and losing track of the time. Even a bar menu would be an improvement from the current situation. Two - No desks/work lighting in room makes it almost impossible to prep for business the next day. The small round table and dining room chair were short of the mark. I ended up working at a game table in the lobby. Otherwise, no complaints. Love the character of the place and, again, staff were very nice.

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Loved exploring and seeing the architecture. Historic property was very well maintained. Staff was friendly and cocktails at the Billiard Room lobby bar were well-made with a nice selection. I would have appreciated a few more small touches that I have received at other comparible hotels -- nice robes to wear in the room, snacks & mini bar in room were not present, Chromecast was not functional. However, the area surrounding the hotel is very scenic with many restaurants and local spots to explore. Overall, a good experience.
